Thoughts About: Mayonnaise

[Betty]

Well, shit.

Right?

I didn't think you could fuck up mayonnaise.

I perfected that art, until finally learning The Trick, which only took 10-15 tries of making the stuff (with a blend stick).  The Trick is to get a round glass just a bit larger than the blend stick.  If you don't have the oil, use what you've got - I've used MCT coconut oil and even sesame oil halved out with olive or avocado (yum).  Not the right vinegar?  Use what you've got - Red Wine Vinegar works just as well.  Here's the recipe I found that works every time!

Thank you for sharing this! Blend stick = emersion blender, right? I have one, so one thing down. The thing that's nagging me is we're always told that raw eggs are bad for us, yet all mayo's use raw eggs, right? Makes zero sense. lol

Buy the best ones possible.  Didn't know until this year that you can buy soy-free eggs.

SOY-FREE EGGS, whaaa?!  Sure, they've got to add hormone replicators to eggs, too.

NO to Whole Foods, and NO to Fresh Thyme, which just sold hamburger meat to me wrapped by its butchers - previous day's brown meat wrapped in today's red (and probably dyed at that) meat.  Owned by Meijer's.  I no longer trust Fresh Thyme with all its bio-engineered foods on the shelves while advertising itself as "healthy, natural and local."  Even buying from a farmer, I'd like to see the feed bags and question everything.

Natural Grocers is the most trustworthy health food store I've found in Iowa, GMO stalwart state, short of having one's own chickens and mixing their feed oneself after carefully ascertaining those ingredients.  Crazy time, and hope we all live to see safe store-bought food again that doesn't try to modify our dna or sicken us slowly.

Hellman's insistence on soy, rapeseed and canola brought me to making my own, and I thanked them in an email for doing so.

**Mayonnaise in the news**

Spotted this last week at our local supermarket. Gave it a try, and yes...it still has the dreaded seed oils. Other than that can confirm: tasty and decently priced product.
